that's certainly no surprise as there isn't any BC Forza game (EDIT: from the main series. Horizon has been pulled from the store due to copyright issues.). They could've included Forza 5 though. Maybe after 7 comes out.

2016 games:
Electronic Super Joy (on X1)
KYUB
Layers of Fear
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse
Steredenn

Maybe more, didn't check them all.

Ah that is quiet helpful, so thank you. I only checked the big ones. I also didn't know that Horizon has been pulled due to copright issues.

That said Forza 5 came ou in 2013, and Forza 6 in 2015. Neither are Horizon - both are on XB1.

Are you saying games on the xb1 need "publisher permission" to be on this xbox game pass?

huh? Of course. They need to make contracts, otherwise how would you determine which publisher is getting what amount of money from the Games Pass Revenue?
Obviously MS doesn't need to give permission for their own games, but why include every first party game from day one? They would receive less profit from their most recent game releases and they would have nothing more to add over the months to keep people subscribed to the service. Forza 5 could be included, I agree, but I guess it's coming within the next months.
Gears Ultimate, Halo 5 and Sunset Overdrive are still strong 1st party games to start the service.
